Can Time Inc. Survive the Kochs? November 28, 2017 By Jane Mayer
..."This year, among the Kochs’ aims is to spend a projected four hundred million dollars in contributions from themselves and a small group of allied conservative donors they have assembled, to insure Republican victories in the 2018 midterm elections. Ordinarily, political reporters for Time magazine would chronicle this blatant attempt by the Kochs and their allies to buy political influence in the coming election cycle. Will they feel as free to do so now?"...

Commemorate Hiroshima/Nagasaki And The Lessons Of Fukushima For Today
The title of this item is taken from a talk to be presented on August 5th in San Francisco by Leuren Moret and others. We cite it here as one of thousands of events, but of special interest as it links the two uses of this deadly atomic techology: weapons and power. Please also see our webpage on Hiroshima-Nagasaki.
"On Friday August 5 at 7:00 PM there will be a commemoration on the anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings during the 2nd WW. The radioactive blasts not only caused the deaths of thousands but caused radioactive poisoning and contamination of the people for decades. It still has victims today.
Today with the man made disaster at Fukushima, the people of Japan and the world are again being contaminated by a disaster that was warned about in advance by geo-physicist Leuren Moret in an article written in 2004.

The US government and nuclear operators like GE were responsible for pushing the development of "peaceful" nuclear power in Japan and now the people face a disaster of world proportions. Moret will discuss this catastrophe and who is responsible for it. The contamination of these nuclear melt-downs are still being hidden both from the Japanese and American people by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and other US agencies which are charged with protecting the people. In fact the Obama administration still continues to push to give $26 billion of our tax dollars to the US nuclear industry to build more plants."
